Central Indiana storms can drop limbs in seconds. Acting fast keeps your family safe and may save you money on insurance claims.
1. Make Safety Pass #1
- Stay at least 30 ft from downed lines and leaning trunks.
- Photograph every angle for your insurer before moving debris.
2. Know What Damage Looks Like
| Symptom | What it means | Immediate action |
|---|---|---|
| Split trunk | Structural failure | Call ProFinish 24 / 7 |
| Branch resting on roof | Hidden roof puncture | Cover with tarp; schedule removal |
| Partially-uprooted tree | Unstable root plate | Rope off area; avoid foot traffic |
3. Temporary DIY Fixes
Remove small, shoulder-height sticks only. Never use a ladder near power lines; utility interference in Indiana can incur fines.
4. How ProFinish Handles Emergency Calls
Our crews answer phones day and night and cover Indianapolis, Fishers, Geist, Carmel, and Noblesville. We arrive with a chipper, loader, and crane if needed, cut broken limbs free, and haul debris the same visit.
5. Insurance & Documentation
- Take timestamped photos before cleanup.
- Save invoices; most homeowner policies cover tree removal if the tree hits a covered structure.
- We can meet your adjuster on site to speed reimbursement.
FAQs
Does homeowners insurance cover preventive removal? Usually not; coverage applies when the tree actually damages insured property.
Can ProFinish work with my preferred roofer? Yes. We coordinate timelines so roof repairs start as soon as the tree is gone.
